Hey guys!
I've wanted to post a Hobbit story for a long time that actually would make for a good story line and I think this one's it!
This will be the disclaimer for the whole entire story; I own nothing except for my own ideas and my own OC's. Everything else belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien- Except for the Harry Potter references in this chapter; those belong to J.K. Rowling.
Briley Silverwind sat on her couch in her apartment, The Hobbit in her slender hands. She smiled the closer she got to the ending, a small laugh on her lips as she read the last words of the book.
Carefully the orange-red head closed the book, a satisfied sigh escaping her lips. Soon though, she frowned in annoyance as she let her thoughts drift to parts in The Hobbit. J.R.R. Tolkien had killed Thorin, Fili, and Kili.
Her frown deepened at the thought.
That was wrong. J.R.R. Tolkien should have at least let one of them survive! Now Dis was all alone and mourning with no one to comfort her.
Briley's roommate walked into their shared living room space, shaking her head at Briley's sour expression. Instinctively she knew where this was headed. "Another book didn't match your expectations huh?"
Briley's frustrated gaze snapped up from her lap and she started to play with her hands the longer her friend stared at her in question, "He killed Thorin, Fili, and Kili. Now, Dis is all alone! Can you even imagine how awful that would feel?
"You let your sons go help your brother reclaim your homeland even though a part of you wants to protest, to keep your sons from any danger. I can only imagine Thorin promised her to keep her sons safe if she allowed them to go. But of course she technically had to let them go, otherwise their people would shame Fili and Kili for not even attempting to help their uncle. Not to menti-"
"Briley," Evelyn cut in, a laugh building up inside of her. "It's really not that big of a deal. It's just a book. So what if Thorin, Fili, and Kili die? It's not like it's going to effect your life. They aren't real."
Briley only pouted, "I can't help it. It's all so sad. Do you know if they die in the movie?"
"Yep," said Evelyn, popping the p. "I think Fili's the first to die by an orc, Kili dies because he goes to save Tauriel, and then it's Thorin who-"
"STOP!" shrieked, Briley. Her cinnamon brown eyes wide in disbelief. "I only wanted to know if they died, not how!"
Evelyn felt the tip of her lips quirk in a smile as she feigned innocence, "Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, they die."
The orange-red haired woman sighed in annoyance from her seat on the plush leather couch. "You're horrible."
"I thought J.R.R. Tolkien was the horrible one?" asked Evelyn slyly, her jade green eyes shining in mirth. "I didn't kill Thorin or Fili or Kili."
Briley groaned, clutching The Hobbit to her chest, "I wish we could save them from their death. That way no one had to die."
"Always the happily-ever-after girl Briley," said Evelyn cheekily, braiding her long black hair straight behind her head. "Wait a sec- did you say I wish we could save them?"
The cinnamon brown eyed woman nodded enthusiastically, "It would be the highlight of our lives! Can you imagine fighting next to the dwarves?Amaze!"
Evelyn smiled weakly, "Oh yeah. I can see it now. As soon as the trolls trapped the company, we'd be dead. We probably wouldn't even make it past Bilbo's home."
"No," grinned Briley brightly. "I think we'd pull through. In fact, I think we could manage to save the company from the trolls with our karate kicks! Hi-ya!"
"We'd only manage to hurt ourselves trying to take down those big oafs," said the black haired woman, shaking her head. "Besides, you couldn't pay me to touch one of them."
Briley tsked her friend teasingly, "I'm sure no one wants to touch the trolls. Otherwise there would be petting zoo's full of them."
Evelyn waved lazily to Briley as she made her way into their kitchen for some dinner, "Stop looking at all the positive sides Briley. You're supposed to be pouting with me. Some best friend you are."
Briley laughed, a twinkle in her eyes, "I am so sorry Evelyn."
The jade green eyed woman poked her head out of the kitchen, faking insult, "Are you mocking me?"
The sudden knock on their apartment door broke the two girl's from their playful banter. They exchanged confused glances but finally Briley hopped off the leather couch and went to answer the door. Evelyn on the other hand opened the kitchen curtain slightly to see just who was standing outside of their apartment. She knew for a fact no one was coming over to their apartment that was their family or friend at least.
Briley's excited voice could be heard as she swung the door of their apartment open, "No one here but there's a note on the door."
"There is?"
"Uh-huh."
"Who is it from?"
"I don't know."
"Who's it to?"
Briley hesitated before she said, "It's addressed to... me."
Evelyn walked to her friend, seeing Briley staring at a cream colored envelope in her dainty hands. There was emerald green ink on it that formed words. Two perfect words that clearly read, Briley Silverwind.
"Well?" asked Evelyn impatiently after a few moments. "Are you going to open it or not? It could be from the next door neighbor guy you like."
Briley blushed a pretty pink, the light dusted freckles on her cheeks becoming more noticeable, "Call me silly or whatever you wish, but in Harry Potter he got almost the same kind of letter I'm holding accepting him into Hogwarts."
Evelyn's shoulders slumped as she said dryly, "How romantic."
Briley only shrugged sheepishly as she closed their apartment door carefully, "What? I can't help it when I my fan girl comes out. I wonder if an owl delivered this..."
"Just open the letter Briley," said Evelyn, straining against strangling her friend. "And who knows? Maybe it is a letter from Hogwarts."
The angelic red-orange haired woman stared bashfully at her shoes, "It sounds ridiculous when you say it." But never-the-less she opened the letter and pulled out a slip of parchment. On it read,
Luck is with you. Your wish will come true.
"Luck is with you. Your wish will come true," said Briley slowly. "I wonder what that means."
Evelyn only grinned, "That has to a secret message from an admirer!"
Briley shook her head as she made her way back to their love seat, "I don't think so. The hand writing is different than anything I've ever seen. All the the fancy swirls and loops..."
"Maybe they printed it from their computer," guessed Evelyn, coming to sit beside her friend. The Hobbit long forgotten on the arm rest of the couch.
"No. It feels too... unreal," said Briley, making gestures with her hands. "Besides, it doesn't make sense. Your wish will come true? I think it's just a prank."
"Hm," hummed Evelyn, deep in thought. "Maybe."
XXXxXXXx
Later the girls slept in their rooms. Evelyn could be heard snoring ever so softly from exhaustion while Briley was tossing and turning in her sleep- a normal habit for the angelic cinnamon brown eyed girl. Suddenly, Briley awoke, the urge to go pee calling her.
After using the bathroom, Briley poked her head into Evelyn's room. Her best friend looked as snug in a rug under her heavy blankets, curled up into a ball. Her black hair that was put into a braid earlier had started to come out of the braid and curled around her face, framing her delicate features. Her husband was going to be one lucky man Briley thought with a tiny smirk.
Suddenly, a bang erupted from inside Evelyn's closest and Briley screamed in fright. Evelyn gasped awake, her jade green eyes still a little hazy from waking up so quickly. "Briley? Briley are you okay?"
"There's something in your closet!" Briley cried out, her finger pointing to door on the other end of the room. "Quick! Where's your gun?"
Evelyn groaned, momentarily confused, "What?"
The door to the closet opened with a BANG!, causing both girls to cry out in fear. Evelyn scurried out of her bed and fumbled with her nightstand before she whipped her gun out and pointed it at her closet. She took deep breathes, trying to calm her nerves.
Briley inched towards Evelyn's light switch to turn on the lights when abruptly all the lights in their apartment flickered on and off. On and off. Again and again.
"Uh, Evelyn?" called out Briley, inching away from the light switch towards her best friend. "What's going on?"
A confident voice broke free from the closet, "Luck is with you. Your wish will come true."
Without thinking, Evelyn fired her gun into her closet. BANG! The noise echoed in her head, all around her.
"The dawn will take you all!"
Evelyn fired again into her closet; her eyes like steel. It was then the lights stopped flickering and Briley touched her friends shoulder. "Evelyn, we have to get out of here."
Evelyn nodded slightly, not daring to remove her eyes from her closet. What the freak was going on?! The dawn will take you all? What did that even mean? "You go first. I'll follow you out."
A shadow moved in Evelyn's closet and the female bristled. Dang. How the crap was she not hitting whoever was hiding in her closet? Goosbumps prickled the black haired beauty's arms and a shiver ran down her spine when she realized that she'd been sleeping in her room with whatever was in her closet.
She did not want to imagine what would have happened if Briley hadn't of been awake.
"Dwalin, at your service."
Briley's eyes widened in disbelief when she realized what was being said by the closet. Parts of The Hobbit were being stated! "Evelyn! It's reciting The Hobbit!"
"Wha-?" Evelyn asked baffled, tossing her friend a frown. She did not understand any of this. "Briley don't talk to... to... just don't speak!"
But it was too late. The damage was already done. Both girls felt something tug at their mind and they grew tired.
"Must... stay... awake," struggled Evelyn, strainning to keep her eyes open. She kept her gun trainned at her closet but soon felt it slip out of hergrasp and fall with a dull thud on her bed. She swayed slightly and out of her peripheral vison saw Briley fall uncounscious.
What was going on?
The tugging in her mind persisted and soon Evelyn fagely felt herself crumple onto the ground. No... stay... awa-...
A shudder ran through her spin and she closed her eyes. Sleep now. Fight later. She fell asleep.
Now here's the thing. I don't know who I want paired up with who yet... I know Kili's going to be paired up with Tauriel but that doesn't help Briley or Evelyn.
I'm toying with Thorin, Dwalin, and Fili... maybe even Legolas. Tell me in a reiew who you think should end up with who!
R&R! I'll look back later to see who well the story is doing:)
